Answer:

68%.

Explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule (also know as the Empirical Rule) states that 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean. 95% of the data lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. 99.7% of the data lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

According to the diagram, the area shaded shows data within 1 standard deviation of the mean (one standard deviation to the left, and one to the right). That means that 68% of the data is within the shaded area.

Hope this helps!
